That tactic won't work. To begin with, no one on PEN-L gives a fuck about
what you have to say. Secondly, this is an m-int issue and this is where
the discussion will stay. Thirdly, I'm not going anywhere. Fourthly, no
one on PEN-L is going to ask me to get off "our backs."

> We workers don't want to come over here and disrupt your proceedings.

Firstly, that is _exactly_ why you went over to PEN-L. Secondly, it won't
work. Thirdly, what is this "We workers" shit?

You a worker? You're a person who spent three decades working for Solomon
Brothers, Goldman-Sachs, Mobil Oil, and Metropolitan Life. Now you work
as a computer programmer at Ivy University performing a management
function, i.e. developing work schedules. Some worker! I doubt if you've
ever had a job in your life that got your fingers dirty from anything
other than xerox paper. In fact, you resigned from the SWP for no other
reason than you didn't want to take a job working alongside industrial
workers.

You did that on the marxism list, m1, and now m-int. Every list that you
come into contact with, turns to crap.

You've made this threat before. All this comes from the person who favors
open lists and allegedly opposes censorship on the Net.

I'm not going anywhere. Get used to it.
